Call for Papers: Performance, installation, and digital art
Eastern Mediterranean University, Famagusta, Northern Cyprus.
The sixth annual Literature and Humanities Conference will be held at
Eastern Mediterranean University as part of Inscriptions in the Sand, an
Arts and Culture festival taking place at the university and environs
between May 30th and June 1st 2003. In conjunction with a wide selection of
music, performance and film events, discussion- friendly papers are being
solicited for our symposium. Although we will be publishing selected
presentations from Inscriptions in the Sand, we encourage participants to
move away from the standard prewritten, "finished paper" format, towards a
more open-ended presentation, which will provoke and contribute to a genuine
exchange of research and ideas during the panel sessions. Our aim is to
create a forum and publishing venue for inspiring work in progress, where
the exchange of ideas with fellow academics participating in the conference
will contribute to the final form of participants' work.
With this in mind, we invite papers and/or presentations that examine the
current status of critical thinking on performance, installation, and
digital art. Possible topics might include but are not limited to:
- media (tv, internet, etc.) intrusion: censorship, privacy
- electronic arts/digital arts/multimedia arts/cyberarts: what's
the difference?
- semiotics and digital art
- spatio-temporal poetics in cyberart
- artificial intelligence and narrative
- digital alterations to "voice"
- logocentricism and technology
- the subversive/revolutionary/political importance of performance
art
- the hamburger and Paul McCarthy
- authority in the catalogue essay
- assessing Greenaway's Tulse Luper Suitcase
- visual pleasure: gendered gazes and coloured spectacles
- digital animation/animated technology
- technologies of intervention
- silence and technology
- new sensory experience and conceptualization
- public/private exhibitions spaces: differences between the art
gallery and virtual environments
- Plato, art and performance
- theatrical drama and new technologies
- copyright in the digital age
- hypertext pedagogy
